NEW ORLEANS – The Salmen Spartans took the crown last Friday night with a 42-36 win over Sophie Wright in the championship game in the Sophie Wright basketball tournament.
With the victory, the Spartans got a measure of revenge after Sophie Wright came to town a week ago Monday and beat Salmen 56-46 on their home floor.
The Spartans opened the tournament with a convincing 64-49 win over Higgins followed by a close 46-42 victory over Lake Area.
The championship game against the host saw the Spartans take the 42-36 win with Dietrick Stovall taking the honor of being named the tournament MVP.
Rahsheen Lewis and Cameron Vickers were also selected for the all-tournament team.
Salmen improves to 9-4 and took on cross-town rival Slidell this past Monday at the Spartan gym.
